Understanding a Neck Lift

When you want to look your best and look years younger, you can’t forget about your neck. As you age, your neck could start to sag and wrinkle. While you can’t stop the natural aging process, there are treatment options and procedures that can help correct it.

If you are looking for something that is safe, you should consider a neck lift. During the procedure, results can be achieved through skin tightening, liposuction or even injectable fillers. Depending on the issues you are trying to correct, Dr. Salerno will help determine the most appropriate method for your needs. Common neck issues include excess skin, excess fat, sagging or drooping skin, and fine lines and wrinkles. This can be caused by the natural aging process, weight loss or weight gain, or sun exposure. Each patient is different, so we can customize your treatment to help get the best results.

Ideal candidates for a neck lift are in overall good health with realistic ideas of the surgery outcome. Make sure to tell Dr. Salerno of any pre-existing medical conditions, so he can evaluate if you are healthy enough to undergo this surgery. If you are not ready for a full facelift, but still want to correct areas around the neck and jaw, a neck lift could be the right option for you.

If you look at other surgeries and procedures, you often will see that people don’t undergo a huge change. This is in stark contrast to a neck lift where you could see a change in the look of your face. When going to the doctor’s office, you can watch as he removes neck fat and smoothens the wrinkles, revealing a much younger appearance.

While it’s not a tough treatment, you should remember that this is a surgical procedure. For this reason, if you want to get a neck lift, you should avoid alcohol and eat well and prepare well in advance. To get started, consult with Dr. Salerno. He can help you figure out the best plan for surgery preparation.
